Höra
Folk music brings people together and pushes them apart – it can seem like home or something foreign, sometimes it does both at the same time. Höra is Annika Lyytikäinen’s piece for clarinet, strings and tape. The century-old clarinet tapes and the modern string polskas don’t provide answers, but do ask questions: When are you musically at home and when are you exploring the unknown? What role does hearing and opening your ears play in finding your cultural home?
Annika Lyytikäinen is a clarinetist and folk musician, whose playing radiates both her love towards her Finland-Swedish roots and her passion for Eastern European Jewish music traditions. During her studies she has immersed herself in European clarinet traditions from Scandinavian dance music to klezmer, developing into a clarinetist with an unique musical vocabulary. Höra is Lyytikäinen’s Master’s concert at the Sibelius Academy.
